Mike,
Ok, I will admit that my use of 7.6.O is stretching the rule a little, but my point is this: Since it was only strike 2, the batter was still just a batter so by stepping out of the box she "hindered" the catcher's throw by confusing (both terms that apply to interferenc) her into thinking that she needed to throw to 1st. The exception stated for the D3K rule doesn't apply here since that only applies to BRs not to batters. That's the way i was thinking anyway.
